Hey I’m in! I’ve really enjoyed PP. I am one of those RSS readers and I rarely miss an article.

Same as Wil W. I have the RSS feeds. I love all the business end of things that I see here, much of it is unique or gathered together for ease of finding. Especially love the papermoney podcast.
Congratulations on 1mil! Purple Pawn is the source of the best articles about gaming on the net. Keep up the good work!
Yeah Purple Pawn. This is my favorite games news site!
Keep up the good work Purple Pawn. A good source of relevant gaming information is always welcome in my RSS feed. Thanks!
Nice! I’ve loved the info that you guys keep putting out, but this is just icing on the cake!
I’m in for a FREE game, indeed.
Love the Purple Pawn site, even though I rarely choose Purple as my color in a real game. PP has some of the best news feeds in tabletop gaming.
Thanks for PP. I look forward to it every time I open my browser. And I tweeted about the contest. Keep up the good work.
Congrats on the big one-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! And thanks for running the contest!
I never miss an article! Keep up the good work!
Purple Pawn is my go to site for game news and info. Thanks for the work you do!
Congratulations! I also follow your RSS feed and twitter account (and retweeted this announcement, by the way). Thanks for all the hard work in providing us gaming news!
Thanks for all the news and gaming information Purple Pawn!
Love the site and twitter feed…always look forward to it! I can’t get enough of the “criminal roundups” :) (I also re-tweeted your contest announcement)
Free game contest? I’m in. Happy to be several of the 1,000,000 views. Congrats.
I am also an RSS reader, and recently discovered your Twitter feed. I RT’ed your tweet about this as well.
Keep up the good work!
Congrats on your success. I now follow you through Google Reader rather than coming directly to the site. I wonder how that affects your stats.
First time I’ve heard of you guys, courtesy of gamer-buddy Nolan’s tweet about this. Always good to have another site to watch for gaming news lists, etc.
Love the sight. Thanks for keeping it running.
Wonderful news and congrats. I was happy to tweet this out and share.
Congrats PP. Keep up the great work. Here’s the to next million and the next!
I, too, get PP by RSS.
Way to go PP! I visit the site daily.
Shiny! Really enjoy the PP – informative and entertaining. Thanks!
Congratulations on the milestone. I’m one of your regular feed consumers, and I’ve come to rely on your entertaining and informative coverage.
The Paper Money podcast beats even NPR’s Click-n-Clack, and your recent survey made my month.
I am yet another RSS reader. I also posted about this contest on BGG: http://boardgamegeek.com/article/6603072
Heard about the contest on BGG.
All the best, congrats!

Just when you thought Purple Pawn couldn’t get any better..they do. Hope I win..but we are all winners for having PP in the first place.
You guys are definitely one of the best news sources on the net. Please keep up the good work! Will definitely be posting this contest on facebook.
This site is pretty neat; and I wouldn’t have discovered it myself if it wasn’t mentioned elsewhere.
I’ve shared the news of this among my Facebook friends. Hopefully more will learn about this service.

If selected, I vow to pick a game that has purple pieces in honor of the Purple Pawn. :)

Count me in! This site looks cool–can’t believe I’d never heard of it before.
Free game?
Congratulations Purple Pawn!
I’ve been following this site since the beginning, and it is indeed one of the best gaming news websites on the web. And it’s got much more than news. I love the patents review, and other various articles.
Keep up the good work!
Congratulations on reaching the 1MM mark! I’ve been reading for at least a half year now — it’s on my MWF trawl.
1,000,000 is more than the population of Djibouti!
Congratulations! Here’s to a million more!
A million hits? Wow! Way to go!

Congratzel tov!
Informative – and really appreciate the Paper Money guys. Thanks for your support.
I would just like to say that this blog needs more posts just like this one…
(And also the industry data that you guys post on game sales and such.)
I tweeted about this as Fezzwick, which simultaneously posted on my Facebook account. I really enjoy your site, and find it informative!
Congratulations! Here’s to a million more! y saludos desde ARGENTINA!!!!
Congratulations… Very good blog!!!
I’m in. And I also tweeted it out with an @ for you. Congratz on the views and hopefully we’ll see a lot more from you.

I entered back up on #75, but also mentioned it on the twitterthing: http://goo.gl/iAtBw
Sounds good to me. Also mentioned on my Twitter account: @ianoble
Great promotion! And site! Tweeted and FB’d.
Wow…I just came across your site and love it. I actually patented a game and saw it on your site. Very cool. I’m looking into the “Kickstarter Campaign”. Anyhelp on how it works would be greatly appreciated. Thanx
Thanks for the contest, congratulations! For an extra entry I just posted this on Facebook for my friends to check out :)
Thanks for being a great news source!
Woohoo! Congrats for the first million. Let there be many more to come.
Woohoo! grats on the views! the site is worthy of them!
This is my nr.1 gaming news site.
Big THANK YOU from Norway :)
Two entries from NORWAY in a row?
How unlikely is that?
In like Flynn!
Seth
(in Norway… from BOSTON:)
even though i’m just neophyte, i’ll get in on the action
Awesome, guys! Great job!
I could always use another game. Thanks for the chance, guys.
Congratulations!, thanx for the contest.
Congrats Purple Pawn on 1,000,000th! Great promo…Please pick me!!!! :-)
Awesome job PP! Thanks for the chance, and keep up the good work!
Saludos desde ARgentina!!! felicitaciones por el 1000000 de entradas!
RSS reader that enjoys the articles. Keep up the good work.
I had done tweeted it up over at http://twitter.com/#!/AndyVanZandt
definitely an… effective… contest :)
Congratulations!, thanx for the contest.
Another RSS reader. Shared this contest via FB.
Keep up the great work!
Awesome! I am commenting! And my comment is awesome!
Thanks for doing the give-away. I like the Purple Pawn in that it gives a different perspective on the world of games than many other sites, blogs, or podcasts. Keep up the good work.
I like your Kickstarter summaries – I think that format is very interesting, and I’m curious how it’ll pan out. It worked wonders for me and Eminent Domain, and it seems like Rolling Freight and Startup Fever have enjoyed some success as well – one funding in the nick of time, the other funding in the first couple of days!
Oh, I went ahead and tweeted about your drawing, hopefully you can turn that 1,000,000 figure into 2,000,000 in no time!
(Ok, you got me, I just re-tweeted http://twitter.com/#!/AndyVanZandt ‘s tweet… but I feel like that counts, as the tweet went to all of my followers!)
Wow, I stumbled upon this site after seeing an article linked in from BGG’s twitter feed. I am digging what I have read thus far and this is a very generous gift. Fingers crossed!
What a great idea! I love the Purple Pawn. :) Congrats on hitting such an amazing milestone.
You guys rock, that is why we love coming around here, thanks so much, I will look into what I want to buy when I win now, thanks!
I’m in! Congratulations!
I’m in. This brought me to the site. Now I can’t wait to read more.
Congratulations, guys! I’ve been subscribed to your feed for awhile now, and it’s great to see that apparently a lot of other people are following the site, too.
Have been following you as my main source for gaming news since almost your beginning. After BGN folded, you ARE the main source. You are reliable and thorough and have gained a voice that’s worth listening to. Thanks for all the work you put into this!
P.S. Already searching for the right game to get if I win.
P.P.S. Also mentioned the competition on my Facebook feed @ fb.com/peetertalvistu
